MUMBAI: Basketball legend Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa Bryant has filed a wrongful death lawsuit and is seeking almost 'hundreds of millions of dollars' after her husband and teen daughter's demise in January this year. Kobe and daughter Gianna were among the nine killed in a helicopter crash, including the pilot, in California on 26 January. Vanessa has filed a lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters and the pilot who was in control of the helicopter. 

While the lawsuit was submitted in February, E!News has revealed that Vanessa's attorney has now filed a 72-paged wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the lawsuit, her attorney has stated that Island Express Helicopters, its agents, and employees including the deceased pilot, had a "duty to use that degree of care that an ordinarily careful and prudent pilot would use under the same or similar circumstances."
